Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Mary Jane will be missed by many.
No words can express how sorry I am for the loss of your wife/ mother / sister; my Aunt MaryJane. I don’t remember her much since we moved to Az all those years ago. What I do know is that mom and dad always spoke fondly of her and they spoke often before daddy’s passing in 2021.
When I shared the news with mom, she shared a few stories around her coming to stay with her when daddy was on business travel.
Our condolences to you and yours.
Our deepest and sincere condolences Bob, Steve, Peter and Glen…. So many fond memories of my mom (Bobbie) and Aunt Jane’s floral arranging beginnings! And beyond. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless!
May the memories of Aunt Mary Jane, the love of your family, provide you strength and guide you through the days ahead.
Susan and family
